AMIA
celebrates its 20th year by joining with our international colleagues
at IASA in our first joint conference!
The
audiovisual collections of the world have grown in response to the varied
needs of their collectors, creators and users, reflecting the diversity
of their owners, curators and managers. While there is much about sound
and moving image archives that is unique and specific to format, there
is an even greater range of issues and concerns that we all share in
common.
The
IASA/AMIA Conference will be a forum to discuss where convergence is
possible, to communicate standards and to share mutual solutions and
opportunities. It is a unique opportunity to bring together a broad
range of audiovisual colleages from around the world.
The
conference will offer four parallel session tracks, two on typically
AMIA-issues, one on typically IASA-issues, and one with subjects of
common interest (attendees from both AMIA and IASA will be free to attend
all sessions).
